Spam? Yeah, it's that bad

From the O RLY? files, spammer-prosecution division, where Judge Marsha Pechman took her time to figure out precisely the right sentence for junk-mail joker Robert Soloway...

"But the Soloway case was an opportunity for the courts to dissuade online criminals from continuing their work, [prosecuting attorney Kathryn] Warma said."

Was it now? An opportunity to dissuade them? To... send a message? And it took an extra-long two and a half days of judicial deliberation to send that message? Damn you, Robert Soloway; you spammed us all so hard you slowed down communications systems not even connected to the Internet. That's nasty. You go to jail now.
